20 July 1944 Wound Badge in Black

This 20 July 1944 Wound Badge in Black is a highly detailed replica of the award introduced to commemorate those wounded during the assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, also known as the “Stauffenberg Plot.” The badge was specifically awarded to German personnel who sustained injuries during the failed bombing at the Wolf’s Lair (Wolfsschanze) by members of the German Resistance.

The black grade was given to individuals who suffered minor or less serious wounds as a result of the explosion. The design features an explosion motif within a wreath of oak leaves, with the central swastika symbolizing the event. This badge stands as a unique and historically significant recognition of those who were involved in one of the most pivotal moments of resistance against Nazi rule.

This replica is produced with historical accuracy and is perfect for reenactment, historical displays, or collectors of WWII-era military insignia. While it is not an original wartime piece, it provides an authentic representation of the special Wound Badge awarded after the assassination attempt.
